About Space Within

As the founder of Space Within, my primary aim is to empower people to bring about positive change in themselves through movement, breath and meditation – through yoga. I help my students tap into their own intuition, so they understand what their body and mind needs, and can enjoy the benefits of a regular, personalised yoga practice.

A little bit about me

My name is Lisa Carson and I am the founder of Space Within, a small but perfectly formed home yoga studio in Muswell Hill, North London.

As a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher, I draw inspiration from my extensive background in dance and movement therapy, as well as my own yoga teachers – TKV Desikachar and Max Strom in particular.

I teach Hatha Yoga Flow, a style of yoga which is accessible to people of all ages and abilities, and is based on the principles of breath, movement, mindfulness and meditation. My own experience has taught me that a regular Hatha yoga practice enables one to live life with skill and with joy – to ride the highs and lows without being thrown off centre, to move with ease and grace, and to appreciate the richness of each moment life brings.

‘Never stop learning’

I have been blessed with a life journey that has given me a great understanding of people, allowing me to enhance my students’ potential for personal growth. I am particularly interested in working with individuals seeking professional or personal transformation. I am a firm believer in self-development through education and practice, and I participate in regular, guided workshops to further enrich my knowledge. My personal mantra is to ‘Never stop learning’.

I absolutely love exploring different cultures – through travel, music, drama, art, reading… I enjoy learning about how others live, and finding new and exciting ways to implement these cultural experiences within my own daily life.

I am also an animal lover, and believe wholeheartedly in the therapeutic relationship between animals and humans, hence my involvement in the Mayhew programme. You’re likely to meet Marley the therapy dog if you come to any of the classes I teach at my home studio – he does the BEST downward facing dog!!
